Customise and enhance your PLC system to meet the specific needs of your application with the Expansion I/O Modules by Allen Bradly. These versatile units help to streamline your automated machine processes and maximise efficiency and productivity. They provide additional analogue I/O, digital I/O and specialty capabilities.

The Micro850 Programmable Logic Controller system is expertly designed to offer flexible communications and superior I/O functionality for large, stand-alone machine control applications. The controllers can support as many as 132 I/O points each. The Micro850 series features removable terminal blocks for ease of installation, maintenance and wiring.

• Up to 4 additional I/O units can be added to one Micro850 Control device
• Enables extra analogue, digital, and speciality Input/Output functions
• Can be DIN rail mounted
• Different logic controllers share common software and accessories for simplified integration
• I/O devices interface with control units via I/O expansion port

This expansion input/output (I/O) module from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range is used to increase the functionality of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in the Micro850 series. A resistance temperature detector and thermocouple prevent overheating to ensure safe operation. It has 16 source input points for multiple connections and maximum productivity. Yellow indicators show when each input point is operating properly, making it simple to use. This expansion module is useful for improving PLC performance in industrial automation tasks.

• Compact dimensions of 90 (length) by 87 (width) by 44.5mm (depth)
• Light weight of 220g for minimal strain on equipment
• Energy-efficient power dissipation of 4.5W
• IP20 (ingress protection) rating indicates protection against touch and objects greater than 12mm in size
• Wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +65°C for use in harsh environments

• BS EN 61340-5-1:2007 (British Standard)
• ANSI/ESD S20.20:2014 (American National Standards Institute)
• UL (Underwriters' Laboratories)
• KC (Korean Certification)

Input/Output modules (I/O modules) communicate signals and information to a computer processor and transmit responses from the processor to external devices, acting as a mediator. They can be used in Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) systems to automate machine processes. These control systems are often used in industrial automation, for example to monitor and control machinery in production lines. Inputs can be triggered via things like switches, sensors, and buttons while outputs send instructions to devices, such as motor starts and relays. Allen Bradley PLC systems provide dependable and flexible control capabilities to give you seamless performance.

This expansion module is designed to support discrete signals, making it a good choice for automating on/off functions in applications such as push buttons, limit switches and proximity switches.
